The day after completing the quest, "Capture the Serial Rapist."

After returning home from university and taking care of her real-life responsibilities,

Shiori logged into the world of "Fantasia World" and first checked the "Guild" to see if there were any interesting quests available.

She would go to the guilds in towns like "Middle City" and "Seaside Town" to check the quests, and then move on to another town.

"Hmm... Okay, let’s go with this today."

At the Guild in the Forest People’s Town,

Shiori said this as she picked up a quest sheet.

"’Rescue the Kidnapped Elf’... Hmm, that sounds good... ♡"

The quest name was "Rescue the Kidnapped Elf (Recommended Level: 35)."

The quest involved rescuing female elves who had been kidnapped.

Shiori was drawn to the quest’s simplicity, which made it easy to see what would happen if she failed. She nodded and immediately accepted it.

"Okay, then let’s go."

After completing the order,

Shiori immediately began moving to carry out the quest.

"...We’ve arrived. This is it."

After leaving the Forest People’s Town, she traveled for a few minutes.

Shiori arrived at "The Kidnappers’ Hideout," a field specifically designed for this quest.

Outwardly, it was an ordinary cave that blended in with the trees. There was nothing particularly remarkable about it.

"Well then... how should I proceed?"

Hiding in the bushes a short distance away, Shiori observed the cave and began considering her approach.

"......let me see......"

First of all, it was inevitable that she would lose and be violated.

In that regard, she had decided to go on a rampage as usual, and then suffer a come-from-behind defeat.

Shiori wasn’t particularly worried, but she was thinking about what should be done with the kidnapped female elves.

Would it be better to let them escape during the battle, then be defeated, and get raped by the kidnappers in their rage?

Or should she be caught without being able to escape, and humiliated in front of everyone?

"Both are good, but... ♡ Let’s start with letting them go. Afterwards, if I feel like it, I can try letting the ones who couldn’t get away."

Shiori pondered for a while over the two options that came to mind,

then smiled and nodded, seemingly having finally made up her mind.

"Well then... shall we go?"

With her plan decided, Shiori stood up and slowly approached the cave.

Since there was no guard at the entrance, Shiori easily reached it and cautiously peered inside.

"...It looks like the kidnappers are quite far inside."

"There seems to be some light inside... Let’s just go in like this for now."

The inside of the cave went straight for a short distance, then made a sharp turn to the left.

The structure made it impossible to see from the entrance to the back.

However, there were gaps in the cave ceiling and some kind of shimmering moss clinging to the ground everywhere, so there didn’t seem to be any shortage of light sources.

Therefore, Shiori slowly stepped into the cave, still holding her rapier in one hand.

"Huh...!? Wh-what...!?"

At that moment, something like a string hit Shiori’s leg.

Then, as the string hit, a loud clanging sound echoed throughout the cave.

"What?! An intruder?!"

"Someone’s coming! Go and greet them!"

"Who is it? Who is it?!"

"Ah! A trap...! Well... if that’s the case, I’ll just have to face it head-on!"

It appeared that a trap had been set to deter intruders, as men’s voices began to echo from the depths of the cave in response to the sound.

Shiori showed a look of resignation, but then quickly composed herself and ran off, rapier still drawn.

"Ouch, ugh!?"

"Woman...!?"

"You, huh!?"

"Let...!"

As soon as she started running, three men appeared.

As soon as Shiori saw that the first person’s name read "Kidnapper Lv33," she swung her rapier repeatedly. In the momentum of her charge, she instantly took down all three.

"Okay, no problem... Alright then!"

Once Shiori confirmed that the men had fallen and were no longer moving, she immediately started running again.

"A woman?! You, ugh?!"

"Oh?! What a beautiful woman, huh?!"

"Who the hell do you think you are?!"

"Yes! Who!"

She continued running, easily defeating the men who attacked her one after another. Before she knew it, Shiori had arrived at the hall.

"Hey, seriously?"

"I never thought I’d make it this far..."

"They’re all wiped out... Not only that, we couldn’t even hold them off."

"And all of that was done by just one woman..."

"That woman seems pretty dangerous."

"...You all...!"

The hall was about thirty meters long and thirty meters wide. There was a different passageway extending from the one Shiori had just used, as well as what looked like a prison cell at one end.

There were about a dozen men in this hall,

and they were giving Shiori, who had arrived so quickly, a wary look.

"But... she’s just a woman, after all, right?"

"Yeah, if we all work together, we can do it."

"We need to quickly subdue her... and make her regret ever laying a hand on us."

"Wait, now that I look closely, she’s incredibly beautiful. She’s the best."

"And her style is amazing too... I can’t get enough of it."

"I’m going to get the people you kidnapped back."

However, when the men realized that the attacker—Shiori—was a woman, and an exceptionally beautiful woman with an amazing figure,

their eyes quickly turned lecherous, and they began to think about what would happen after they won.

As Shiori felt a shiver run down her spine at their lecherous gaze, she raised her voice. The men began to talk, smirking.

"Heh heh... Don’t think it’ll go that smoothly, okay?"

"I’ll capture you along with them!"

"...Hmph!"

With smirks on their faces, the men shouted those words and then attacked Shiori.

In response, Shiori calmly raised her rapier and began to swing it with full force.

"Guys!?"

"Guys!?"

"Wha... gah!?"

"Damn it, this woman is seriously, ugh!?"

"Ha! Fu! Ya!"

"Guys!?"

"Huh, that was fast... Gah!?"

Shiori took down four of them in an instant, and then, without a moment’s hesitation, took down two more.

"What?! Th-this woman is dangerous...!"

"Damn, this one might be dangerous."

"That’s it...! Then, I’ll take a suitable woman as a hostage...!"

"No...! I won’t let you...!"

Seeing this, the men reacted with panic, and some began to run toward the prison where the female elves were being held hostage.

Upon seeing this, Shiori instantly ran off and headed toward the prison before the men.

"...! A prison! Hmmm... haa!"

Shiori quickly reached the prison cell and, without hesitation, broke the lock and threw the door open.

Inside the prison cell were several female elves, all with blank, expressionless faces.

"Ah... everyone! I’ve come to help! I’ll hold them off, so get out of here quickly!"

"What? What’s going on here...?"

She felt a little uneasy about the situation,

but as originally planned, Shiori called out to the female elves to help them escape, then turned back to face the men to secure an escape route for them.

"Heh heh..."

"Heh heh..."

"...? What’s with that face..."

"What’s going on? Their reaction... or rather..."

The female elves were about to escape if things continued as they were, but all the men remained motionless, grinning.

As Shiori grew increasingly uneasy at the sight, she noticed that none of the female elves had responded, and she turned to look in that direction.

"...Kya!? Wh, wh, what...!?"

"......"

"......"

"......"

That was when it happened.

The female elves who emerged from the prison all attacked Shiori at once, trying to restrain her movements.

As Shiori was taken aback by the sudden turn of events, the men began to talk, grinning.

"Heh heh... Your attempt to let them escape was good, but... you failed."

"Those women were fitted with ’Collars of Subjugation’ to prevent them from escaping and to silence their will. They were also ordered to suppress anyone who tried to help them escape."

"With your abilities, the right thing to do would have been to wipe us all out first, and then slowly remove their collars. Heh heh heh."

"Ah...!"

"No way...!?"

As the men said,

upon closer inspection, all the female elves were wearing black, gleaming collars around their necks—the "Collars of Subjugation."

"Now... you girls. Strip her of everything she’s wearing."

"......"

"......"

"Ah...!? Kya, kyaa...!? S-stop, stop it...!?"

One of the men gave the order. Shiori realized that her actions had been a mistake.

At those words, the female elves all reached for Shiori’s black dress and began to quickly take it off.

Even though she tried to resist, she was unable to fight back as her entire body was held down. In no time at all, Shiori’s clothes, including her underwear, were stripped off, and her rapier was also taken away.

"Uh... uh, uh..."

"Oh...! This one’s... nice. An absolute gem."

"Wow, this is amazing. I can’t believe such a beautiful woman came to me of her own accord... This is the best."

"She really beat up our comrades, so we have to give her a good reward."

"Heh heh... In that case, let’s start by letting those elves humiliate that woman. Let’s have the very people she tried to save humiliate her."

"That’s good. We’ll have time to recover anyway, so it’ll be perfect for some entertainment."

"Well then, let’s get started... We’re going to have some fun."

Seeing Shiori completely naked,

the men raised their voices in excitement and began discussing what they should do next.

"Uh... uh, uh..."

"I never imagined things would turn out like this... But this is nice... ♡ I wonder what will happen next... ♡"

While listening to that conversation,

Shiori felt frustrated, but even more so, she was shivering with excitement at the situation.
